Constantin Guys'Horse-drawn Chaise with a Fashionable Young Woman', Original Watercolor & Wash
About the Item
Painted by Constantine Guys (French, 1802-1892) circa 1875 and stamped verso with Certification of Authenticity.
A painter and illustrator in colorful watercolor and wash, Constantin Guys illustrated the fashionable pursuits of the bourgeoisie that provide a valuable insight into 19th-century life in many locations. Originally from Holland, he worked for the Illustrated London News for many years until he retired in 1860. He then traveled and painted widely, doing many drawings from observation in Egypt, Turkey, Germany, Spain, Italy and the Crimea. In his lifetime, he was lauded by numerous influential critics including the writer, Charles Baudelaire, and the Impressionist painter, Claude Monet, who admired Guys' composition and his modernist style.
His mediums were ink washes and watercolors, and he often touched up his work with bright yellows and pinks and dark blues. However, "color is less important to Guys' work than is his lively line, his quick wit, and his ability to portray the life of well-dressed people in fashionable pursuits."
